RADVISION Demonstrates SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync Connecting Lync to Telepresence and Any Standards-Based Video Conferencing System

New SCOPIA Video Gateway Connects Microsoft Lync to Telepresence and Video Conferencing Systems

AMSTERDAM & TEL AVIV, Israel (January 31, 2011) – RADVISION® Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN), a leading technology and end-to-end solution provider for unified visual communications including video network infrastructure, developer tools and high definition (HD) room, desktop and mobile video conferencing systems, today announced that it is demonstrating the new SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft® Lync(TM) at Integrated Systems Europe, Europe’s leading trade show for professional AV and electronic systems integration.

The SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync allows people to use telepresence systems, such as those from Cisco/Tandberg, Logitech/LifeSize and Polycom, as well as any standards-based video conferencing system within the Lync unified communications environment. This approach provides users with flexibility and choice of which telepresence or video conferencing systems they use and does not compromise the Lync ease-of-use and experience at the desktop. The SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync provides a cost-effective and easily deployable solution as it does not require large-scale software or firmware upgrades on already deployed video conferencing systems when used with Microsoft Lync.

“Interoperability is a key concern to enterprises adopting unified communications on a large-scale basis,” said Jingyu Qiu, Director of UC Strategy for RADVISION and previous (UCIF) Unified Communications Interoperability Forum board member. “RADVISION has significant experience and makes strategic investments in bridging disparate communications networks through gateway technology. The SCOPIA Video Gateway provides a cost-effective, scalable, no-nonsense approach to interoperability for both existing and new video deployments integrated with Microsoft Lync.”

SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync Highlights:

  • Extends Microsoft Lync to Video Conferencing Systems
  • Enhanced Video Experiences with Lync’s Familiar Interface
  • Universal Endpoint Presence
  • Investment Protection
  • Scalable and Affordable Architecture

“With the SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync, companies can easily leverage their existing telepresence and video systems within the Lync environment without any complicated upgrades to their systems or infrastructure,” said Roberto Giamagli, General Manager, Video Business Unit for RADVISION. “RADVISION’s gateway eliminates the communications barriers between the millions of Microsoft unified communications users and traditional video conferencing users.”

RADVISION will be showcasing the SCOPIA Video Gateway for Microsoft Lync along with other SCOPIA innovative video conferencing solutions at Integrated Systems Europe booth 10K141 in the Collaborative Conferencing Pavilion starting tomorrow.
